Not much mate. Ask Cornelius, he sheared all his gears and had to replace them.

2 is fast enough mate

Not sure you can fit 3 to this model. I don't think I could control it if it was any faster!

You need a big enough space to get it to top speed anyway with 2!

Don't think it would survive a crash at top whack with 3 gears either! That would be about 70mph!

putting extra gears in really don't make it go much faster mate..... if i put a 3 speed gears in mine i will only gain about a mile an hour, i spoke to Tony at Heaths and he said extra gears really don't help that much with Nitro engines.

2 gears are great he said, 3 speed will cost a fortune in repairs, especially if you keep smashing your spur gears

Hey cookie, welcome to the R/C Club.

what car did you get???

there is a small model shop called Reeves in Romford (check on the web though, as Adrian who runs it used to only open 3 days a week)

if you have a pull start engine of .21 or less, i would personally use model technics qwikfire 16 for running it in. (at least 5 tankfuls)

do not mess about with the mixture (and i'm not being funny!!!)

i will explain how the mixture works, when i see you next.

slightly out and you will cook you engine!!!!

i went down gloucester park on my own on saturday morning (got a few odd looks - as if you say "isn't he a bit old to be playing with a remote controlled car" the opinions changed when i fired it up and shot off into the woods at 45mph!!! lol.

if you need any help, pm me mate

Enjoy!!
Dazza
